PART OF OUR ESSENTIAL CINEMA SERIESSee classic art �lms the way they were meant to be seen - with an audience, on the big screen!

“Wild, weird and unforgettable, Branded to Kill is one of those �lms that feels so far ahead of its time, we may still not have caught up to it.”– Tom Huddleston, Time Out

A delirious fever dream of a �lm noir, Seijun Suzuki’s fractured thriller Branded to Kill is an anarchic send-up of B-movie clichés that transforms a standard crime drama into something outrageously bizarre and unexpectedly poetic. �e ecstatically bent story centers on Hanada, a.k.a. “No. 3 Killer,” the third-best hit man in Japanese organized crime, who also struggles with his sensual fetish for sni�ng steamed rice. Near the top of his game, his fortunes change for the worse when he encounters Misako, a mysterious, death-obsessed woman who brings him a particularly di�cult mission.  In an oddball moment indicative of the �lm’s eccentric sensibility, a butter�y lands on his gun at the exact moment he pulls the trigger, causing him to miss the shot. �is failure to eliminate his intended victim means that the killer becomes the target, and Hanada soon �nds himself running for his life from his former employers, as well as from the mysterious “No. 1 Killer.”  Equal parts riveting suspense thriller and surrealistic, psychosexual nightmare, Japanese New Wave bad boy Suzuki’s most infamous �lm (which led to his �ring from the Nikkatsu studio and the near destruction of his career, thanks to the meddling of �abbergasted studio executives) is propelled by striking black-and-white cinematography, wild set design and avant-garde editing that provides the �lm with a dream logic all its own. Poorly received upon its initial release, and today considered a maverick classic and a major in�uence on such �lmmakers as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook and John Woo, Branded to Kill is a gloriously o�-kilter 1960s pop-art masterpiece that is by turns brutal, hilarious and visually intoxicating. (Dir. by Seijun Suzuki, 1967, Japan, in Japanese with subtitles, 91 mins., Not Rated)

$200 MONTHLY GRAND PRIZE!$1,000 YEARLY GRAND PRIZE!

On the �rst Friday of each month at 9:00pm,  Red Meat’s  Max Cannon hosts the biggest, baddest short �lm contest in town – just bring us your short �lms and we’ll play them on the largest movie screen in Southern Arizona!

In case you’ve never been to a First Friday Shorts show, here are the rules: We’ll play anything you’ve made that’s under 15 minutes long and is brought to us on a DVD, thumb drive or BLU-ray (one �lm per person, and DVDs must be playable on a regular DVD player and �lms on drives need to be in by 8:00pm). Submissions are only taken on the day of the event, and all entries MUST BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE ACTUAL SHOW (we cannot accept �lms after the show has begun, or during intermission). All �lms are played in the order they’re received. Every �lm is guaranteed to play for 3 minutes, but after that the audience can call for the dreaded “gong” if they’re displeased. If the gong is struck, our intrepid host stops the �lm and the next movie begins. But don’t despair … if your �lm is gonged, you can re-work it and bring it back to see if the changes you’ve made have pleased the audience. �is is a great way for �lmmakers to try out new ideas and see how an actual audience responds, so take advantage. You cannot submit the same �lm more than once unless it has been re-worked. Remember, the audience decides the winner each and every month, so keep them happy! PLEASE NOTE: We only take the �rst 15 �lms that are brought in each month and the spots have been �lling up really fast. We start taking submissions as soon as we open the day of the show so get your �lms in early! PLEASE BE ADVISED: Since we don’t pre-screen First Friday Shorts entries, we don’t know what each month’s “�lm content” rating will be. Be advised that some material may not be suitable for all audiences.

Congrats to Cody Hunt who won March’s First Friday Shorts with his short In�ated Emotions.

PART OF OUR ONE HIT WONDERS SERIESGreat new documentaries at special one-night-only screenings!

“An always colorful portrait of the cult group.” – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

In their 40-year career, the members of the pioneering music and multimedia collective known as �e Residents have insisted on absolute anonymity, appearing in distinctive costumes (most notably, giant eyeball masks and natty suits) in extravagant live musical performances and �lmed projects, and never revealing their true identities. Director Don Hardy’s entertaining and accessible new documentary, �eory of Obscurity, tells the colorful, stranger-than-�ction story of the group’s beginnings in rural North Louisiana, their artistic awakening in late-‘60s San Francisco, and their journey to the present day, where they’re still going strong. �roughout, longtime collaborators and ardent supporters, including Les Claypool of Primus, Jerry Harrison of �e Talking Heads, magician Penn Jillette,  �e Simpsons’  creator Matt Groening, and members of Neurosis, Henry Cow and Ween – and maybe even the band members themselves – reveal the history, cult popularity and wild creativity of the eccentric group, set against the spectacle of their international anniversary tour.   Along the way, the �lm illuminates the ethos and in�uence of a band whose perseverance and originality have begun to attract a whole new generation of fans.  (Dir. by Don Hardy Jr., 2015, USA/Austria/Germany/Netherlands, 87 mins., Not Rated)

THEORY OF OBSCURITY: A FILM ABOUT THE RESIDENTSTHURSDAY, APRIL 7 AT 7:30PMREGULAR ADMISSION PRICES

�e Tucson Juneteenth Festival began over 40 years ago after African Americans began to move into the Tucson area forming the distinct “A” Mountain neighborhood.  Morris Doty’s family brought the idea of the Juneteenth Festival with them from Jacksonville, Texas and Bobby Ray Dixon’s family brought it from Louisiana.  In 1970 the two families put together the �rst Tucson Juneteenth Festival held at the Vista Del Pueblo Park on San Marcos with free music provided by Baby Owl Foley and his band, Desert Soul. Today Juneteenth has outgrown the small neighborhood park and is an annual event in the Kennedy Park Festival Area with the sounds of sizzling barbecue, uplifting music, laughing children and joyful greetings between friends and family gathered to enjoy Freedom Day!

“Spaceballs is still hilarious, and more relevant than ever… Brooks’ crazed comedy gets everything just right.” – DVD Verdict Review

�e “Schwartz” will de�nitely be with you in this epic, uproarious space spoof to end all space spoofs, written and directed by the one-and-only Mel Brooks! In Spaceballs, everything from Star Wars (natch) to Alien, 2001 to Planet of the Apes gets ruthlessly skewered when the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) attempts to steal all the air from planet Druidia, and the spunky Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga), her loyal robot companion Dot Matrix (voiced by Joan Rivers), the dashing Lone Star (Bill Pullman), and his faithful partner Barf (John Candy) – a half-man/half-dog creature who’s his own best friend – set out to stop him! But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed, they’ll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical power of “�e Schwartz” to bring peace and merchandising rights to the entire galaxy! A hilarious and highly-quotable space comedy from the demented mind that brought the world such classics as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs is the only �lm that can make the jump to hyperspace hilarity in less than twelve parsecs!

FEATURING A POST-FILM PANEL DISCUSSION ON THE CONSERVATION OF ARIZONA’S MIGRATORY BIRDS WITH LOCAL EXPERTS FROM TUCSON AUDUBON SOCIETY, SOUTHERN SIERRA RESEARCH, RAIN CROW COFFEE AND UA FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE.

Often heard before seen, songbirds are instrumental in Mother Nature’s soundtrack. From Canada’s boreal forest, to Turkey’s wetlands, to New York’s night skies, the migration patterns of these birds are vital links in the global ecosystem. Current technological advances allow scientists to track individual birds’ journeys, providing detailed information on where and when they travel. �e data is alarming, and the causes of the songbirds’ plummeting population are numerous and devastating. Pesticides, monoculture, the wholesale destruction of forests, predators and city lights are killing them o� at massive rates, while climate change is happening too rapidly for them to adjust. �e peril of avian species is a literal canary in the coal mine for humans, if we’re willing to listen and take action before they’re silenced. �e elegance of these colorful creatures is captured in stunning slow-motion �ight as ecologists, enthusiasts and everyday people work to protect them and petition for change.

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS 14

“Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.” – Werner HerzogThe films of director Werner Herzog are a mesmerizing combination of spiritual rebellion and cosmic slapstick –  Every Man for Himself and God Against All, as one title put it. Notorious for his own acts of Ahab-like defiance – dragging a ship across a mountain for  Fitzcarraldo, hypnotizing the cast of Heart of Glass  — Herzog has written and produced nearly all his own films, defying not only nature,  but (just as impressively) the movie industry as well.  A risk-taker who would do anything to produce the desired effect  (in

pursuit of what he has termed “Ecstatic Truth”), Herzog has made the filming process a challenging, sometimes downright dangerous adventure for his actors (most notably his volatile cinematic doppelganger, Klaus Kinski) as he pushed them to internalize their roles to the fullest.  Avoiding any conventional career path, Herzog emerged with R.W. Fassbinder and Wim Wenders at the forefront of the New German Cinema movement in the 1970s. Alternating between epic historical dramas, oddball character studies, and brilliantly unnerving documentaries, Herzog has produced a body of images unmatched for their audacity, surreal beauty and flair for the grotesque.  Through it all, he has remained a filmmaker who embraces life at its most apocalyptic extremes.  This April, The Loft Cinema celebrates the boundary-pushing auteur, Werner Herzog, with four of his most unforgettable narrative features on the big screen!

Herzog’s fascination with strange characters adrift in strange environments takes a turn toward the humorously absurd in this comically deadpan, decidedly oddball road trip adventure. Like most of Herzog’s films,  Stroszek  abounds in haunting images, brilliantly evocative metaphors and eruptions of sardonic wit, including what could easily be considered the best performance by a dancing chicken in the history of cinema. (Dir. by Werner Herzog, 1977, Germany, in German/English/Turkish with subtitles, 115 mins., Not Rated)

One of cinema’s grandest and most jaw-dropping epic adventures, Herzog’s stunning tale of obsession, madness and opera houses blurs the lines between fiction and reality to unleash a spectacle unlike any other. With  Fitzcarraldo, Herzog (who was awarded the Best Director award at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival), managed not only to create a truly memorable cinematic experience, but also to cement his reputation as an unmatchable (and often outlandish) visionary.  (Dir. by Werner Herzog, 1982, Germany, in German with subtitles, 158 mins., Rated PG)

Herzog’s long-term fascination with misfits living outside the boundaries of “normal” society achieved full flower with this strange, haunting and uniquely moving drama inspired by a true story. Built around a hypnotic central performance by the late Bruno S., a street performer who had spent much of his life in a mental institution, The Enigma of Kaspar Huaser is no ordinary bio-pic, but an unforgettable, dreamlike meditation on the nature of civilization and the fine line between sanity and madness.  (Dir. by Werner Herzog, 1974, Germany, in German with subtitles, 110 mins., Not Rated)

THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSERWEDNESDAY, APRIL 20 AT 7:30PM

Once seen, never forgotten, this hallucinatory epic of unhinged Spanish conquistadors lost in the Amazon is the definitive Werner Herzog expedition to the edge. A classic example of art imitating life, the insanity of the journey depicted in the film was mirrored in the borderline sanity of filmmaker and scantily resourced crew making a film in the same jungle location. As the untested rafts drift and hurtle down the mighty river, it’s clear that the extreme dangers and discomfits depicted are not being faked. Legend has it that the psychic warfare on screen was just as real: Herzog and Kinski each threatened to kill the other before filming reached its conclusion with the staggering final scene.  (Dir. by Werner Herzog, 1972, Germany, in German/Quechua/Spanish with subtitles, 93 mins., Not Rated)

DON’T MISS LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE GROUP NEGATIVLAND’S FIRST-EVER SHOW IN TUCSON! FEATURING SPECIAL LOCAL GUESTS, SKINCAGE!

“Negativland isn’t just some group of merry pranksters; its art is about tearing apart and reassembling found images, objects and sounds to create new ones, in an attempt to make social, political and artistic statements. Hilarious and chilling.” - Onion

For the �rst time in 34 years of presenting unique one-of-a-kind stage shows, Negativland performs radically new audio-visual versions of many Negativland fan-favorites that have never before been heard live. Negativland’s current performance projects �nds them teaming up with electronic musician Wobbly, and Tucson-based “live cinema” video artist Steev Hise, to create a visually and sonically unique performance that reinvents favorite past and present dialog cut-ups, while showcasing Negativland’s homemade electronic noise-making devices that they call “Boopers.” Boopers, in case you were wondering, are intentionally unstable homemade analog feedback boxes, �rst created in 1975 by David Wills, a founding member of Negativland. By taking a simple clock radio ampli�er and sending its output back into its input to create feedback, and then adding multiple transistors, capacitors, and resistors, along with various knobs and switches to unpredictably control and modulate the signal, the sound that emerges is wildly variable. �is creates a dynamic where the Negtivland member playing the Booper becomes a fellow collaborator with the device. Using as many seven Boopers on stage at once (all based on Wills’ original design), Negativland further structures, manipulates and augments these sounds with found voices, cut-up spoken word, ungainly pulsing rhythms and live collaged visuals.

“An intimate and unnerving character study that marks a ferociously impressive feature debut from 26-year-old Trey Edward Shults.” – Justin Chang, Variety

“An extraordinary debut feature. Krisha Fairchild’s lead performance starts o� riveting and grows ever more compelling as the brilliantly o�-center story unwinds.” – Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

Gripping from start to �nish, Trey Edward Shults’ award-winning debut feature plunges viewers deep into the disoriented world of its title character, Krisha, a troubled woman who begins to unravel while trying to reconnect with her family. �e 60-something Krisha arrives unannounced at her long-estranged Texas family’s �anksgiving celebration, looking for atonement. It’s been ten years since Krisha has seen her family, thanks to a laundry list of problems, but she’s now hoping to turn over a new leaf. As the house begins to �ll with more family members, all of whom have issues with Krisha, conversations become forced and awkward, and Krisha’s mood drops from con�dent to combative in a matter of hours. “You are heartbreak incarnate,” proclaims one of her in-laws, and we begin to see why, as her visit, which begins with forced good cheer, descends into chaos. Casting his own family members in lead roles and shooting the entire �lm at his parents’ home, writer/director Shults capitalizes upon his personal experiences to create a tense and emotionally thrilling drama, which won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival. As the title character, Krisha Fairchild (the director’s real-life aunt) imbues her role with a dizzying whirlwind of emotional highs and lows, delivering an astonishing performance reminiscent of Gena Rowlands in the Cassavetes’ classic, A Woman Under the In�uence. (Dir. by Trey Edward Shults, 2015, USA, 83 mins., Rated R)

“A funny and sweet gem… national treasure Sally Field plays ‘Doris’ to endearing perfection.” – Eric D. Snider, Vanity Fair

Hello,  My Name Is Doris, starring two-time Oscar winner Sally Field,  is a witty and compassionate late-life coming-of-age-comedy which proves that it’s never too late to grow up. When Doris (Sally Field) meets her company’s hip new art director John (Max Green�eld, “New Girl”), sparks �y—at least for Doris. Her �rst encounter with true romance (outside of the pages of a novel) convinces Doris that she and the mostly unaware John are meant for each other. In the cluttered house she shared with her late mother, Doris mines the internet for information on her one-and-only, guided by the 13-year-old granddaughter of her best pal Roz (Tyne Daly, “Judging Amy”). When Doris begins showing up at John’s regular haunts, she wins over his Williamsburg friends with her eclectic vintage wardrobe, quirky naiveté and un-ironic enthusiasm for their rooftop knitting circle. Her new life brings Doris a thrilling perspective, but also creates a rift between her and her longtime friends and family, who believe she’s making a fool of herself over a guy half her age.  (Dir. by Michael Showalter, 2015, USA, 95 mins., Rated R)

“Splendid! A pitch perfect comedy of manners.” – Peter Debruge, Variety

“Captivating… an amusingly entertaining portrait of fortune, infamy and severe melodic dysfunction.” – Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter

“An enjoyable comedy with hints of dark satire and tangy melodrama.” – Marco Duse, CineVue

In 1920s France, wealthy would-be opera diva Marguerite Dumont (Catherine Frot, Haute Cuisine) loves to sing passionately for an avid crowd of friends and devotees. �e only problem is, despite her vast resources, she is completely lacking in talent. Marguerite is kept in the dark about her cringingly awful performances and extreme vocal de�ciencies by her long-su�ering husband (André Marcon, Tour de Force), a butler with his own artistic aspirations (Denis Mpunga, Dead Man Talking), and her �nancially-needy singing coach, who spouts such self-serving slogans as “sublimity and the ridiculous are never far apart.” However, Marguerite’s delusions of grandeur reach a tipping point when she receives an unexpected rave review from a young journalist with suspicious intentions, inspiring her to follow her dreams and plan her �rst public recital for an audience of strangers. As the big night approaches and the web of deceit and delusion grows to mammoth proportions, can the charade possibly continue? Loosely inspired by the real life story of Florence Foster Jenkins, Marguerite is a delectably sharp and mischievous satire of class pretentions and artistic aspirations, propelled by an unforgettable performance by Catherine Frot as our dangerously deluded heroine.

“If there’s a better �lm this year, get ready for a very good year.” – Mick La Salle, San Francisco Chronicle

Terrence Malick’s visually dazzling, philosophically daring  Knight of Cups  follows writer Rick (Christian Bale) on an odyssey through the playgrounds of Los Angeles and Las Vegas as he undertakes a search for love and self. Even as he moves through a desire-laden landscape of mansions, resorts, beaches and clubs, Rick grapples over complicated relationships with his brother (Wes Bentley) and father (Brian Dennehy). His quest to break the spell of his disenchantment takes him on a series of adventures with six alluring women: rebellious Della (Imogen Poots); his physician ex-wife (Cate Blanchett); a serene model (Freida Pinto); a woman he wronged in the past (Natalie Portman); a spirited, playful stripper (Teresa Palmer); and innocent Isabel (Isabel Lucas), who helps him see a way forward. �e seventh �lm from celebrated writer/director Malick (Days of Heaven, �e Tree of Life), Knight of Cups (the title refers to the Tarot card depicting a romantic adventurer guided by his emotions) o�ers both a vision of modern life and an intensely personal experience of memory, family and love. (Dir. by Terrence Malik, 2016, USA, 118 mins., Rated R)

“A stripped-down drama built around a powerful performance by Christopher Plummer.” – Jonathan Romney, Screen International

“A delicately crafted and enjoyable �lm… Christopher Plummer turns in a brilliantly nuanced performance.” – Chris Knight, National Post

A masterwork of suspense from one of Canada’s most acclaimed �lmmakers, the latest Atom Egoyan (�e Sweet Hereafter) �lm stars Academy Award-winner Christopher Plummer as a retiree who �ees his nursing home to complete a secret mission of revenge some seventy years in the making — so long as he can remember his goal. In Remember, Plummer plays Zev, a man looking for the person who may have been responsible for wiping out his family. He believes he has discovered that the Nazi guard who murdered his loved ones some 70 years ago is living in America under an assumed identity. Straining to seize the evanescent memories of long-ago brutality, Zev, with the help of his friend, Max (Oscar-winner Martin Landau), sets out on a mission to �nd this man and deliver long-delay ed justice, with his own trembling hand and failing memory. What follows is a remarkable cross-continent road trip with surprising consequences. Also starring Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire) and Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”), Remember is a suspenseful, Hitchcockian tale of revenge infused with moral gravity and black humor.

“A teasingly e�ective thriller that builds a remarkable level of tension.” – Justin Chang, Variety

“Jaw-dropping… a masterful exercise in unbearable tension.” – Trace �urman, Bloody Disgusting

In this taut psychological thriller from director Karyn Kusama (Girl�ght, Jennifer’s Body), the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green, Prometheus) shows up to his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard, Into the Woods) and new husband, David’s (Michiel Huisman, “Game of �rones”) dinner party. �e pair’s tragic past haunts an equally spooky present: Amid Eden’s suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, �e Invitation blurs layers of mounting paranoia, mystery, and horror until both Will - and the audience - are unsure what threats are real or imagined.

“Enchanting… a sweet and charming portrait of a talented man with a big appetite… for food, for people, for Los Angeles.” – Matthew Odam, Austin American-Statesman

In this richly penetrating documentary odyssey, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold shows us a Los Angeles where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America. Combing through colorful neighborhoods in his green pickup truck, Gold is sni�ng out his next strip-mall discovery—whether Oaxacan grasshopper soup, hand-cut tonkotsu ramen, or a particularly unctuous pad see ew. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred o�erings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream. With eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, Gold is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before. Directed by Laura Gabbert (No Impact Man).

In the midst of a dazzling and proli�c career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis (played by director and co-writer Don Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of �ve years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice sti�ed and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past. A wily music reporter, Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor), forces his way into Davis’ house and, over the next few days, the two men unwittingly embark on a wild and sometimes harrowing adventure to recover a stolen tape of the musician’s latest composition. Plagued by years of regret and loss, Davis �irts with annihilation until he once again �nds salvation in his art. With  Miles Ahead, working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Academy Award-nominated actor Don Cheadle makes his bravura directorial debut. (Dir. by Don Cheadle, 2015, USA, 100 mins., Rated R)

“Terri�c!  Evokes a lost era of animation – and storytelling in general. A �lm with instant-classic appeal.” – Peter Debruge, Variety

From the producers of the Academy Award-nominated  Persepolis  and the mind of renowned graphic novelist Jacques Tardi comes a riveting and dazzling sci-� adventure set in an alternate steampunk universe. Paris, 1941. A family of scientists is on the brink of discovering a powerful longevity serum when all of a sudden a mysterious force abducts them, leaving their young daughter April behind. Ten years later, April (voiced by Academy Award-nominee Marion Cotillard) lives alone with her dear cat, Darwin, and carries on her family’s research in secret.

Undaunted, she continues her quest to �nd her parents and discover the truth behind their disappearance. A beautifully animated feature that pays homage to both �lm noir and the works of Jules Verne while also satirizing France’s industrial past,  April and the Extraordinary World  is a modern-day fantasy classic for all ages.  (Dir. by Christian Desmares and Franck Ekinci, 2015, France/ Belgium, in French with subtitles, 103 mins., Rated PG)

“An unlikely delight… charming and entertaining.” – Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress

When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts �ying o� the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice.
